United Airlines reported second quarter earnings that exceeded analyst expectations and raised its full-year adjusted earnings outlook. However, the airline's third quarter earnings guidance fell short of Wall Street estimates, causing shares to drop about 2%. The company faces nearly $6 billion in additional fuel costs for 2026, with fuel expenses rising 84% year over year in Q2. Despite this, United expects to recover most of the fuel cost increases by year-end and continues to invest in customer improvements to drive demand.
